As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, former NBA superstar Manu Ginobili is returning to the San Antonio Spurs, the team where he spent his entire NBA career, as a special advisor to basketball operations. Ginobili will work in a player-centric role focusing on the on-and-off court development of a young Spurs roster, Wojnarowski added in his story.
